The Cricket: The Most Exciting Development Since...the Violin!

The Cricket is the perfect travel violin for two reasons: It is small and easy to tote, especially into airliner overhead compartments. And, it is durable and reliable under less than ideal conditions, such as high heat and humidity. Perfect for the professional who needs to keep up with practice, but does not want to worry about their main violin. And it's great for beginners who need a reliable, good sounding full sized violin.

Carefully designed and crafted by Dale Webb and his crew in his Massachusetts workshop, the Cricket is actually based on the 17th century Dance Master's violin, the Pochette. The body is short because of the cleverly designed and adjustable chinrest and shoulder rest, which bolt on with ease, effectively lengthening the Cricket to the proper playing position - and after playing, simply remove them for storage. Aged spruce tonewood top provides fine tone, while a headstock, making changing strings a breeze. Although the Cricket is small, it is built to classic violin dimensions; that means that it feels right, and that standard violin strings play perfectly.

The Cricket has smoothly functioning Grover friction pegs, ready to enjoy as soon as you open the case, If you play in a band or in church, go with the electrified Cricket, which adds an internal B-Band U1.0 lithium powered preamp and AST pickup, AND premium Peghead geared pegs. And you can add a Cricket soft case, made in the USA by TKL, especially for Cricket violins.

"Floors in performance venues always seem to be harder, dustier, and slicker than normal floors; as a result, endpin anchors that have proven to be reliable to me in the past have failed me with large numbers of other people watching. This was exactly the case in a recent performance of my cello trio. I used a small circular rubber endpin stop and a Stahlhammer endpin, but despite this, when I put any amount of weight on my cello, it slipped forward with a horrible noise. In retrospect, I could have been more prepared for that situation by bringing a higher quality endpin anchor. The Xeros is my personal favorite, as it attachs to the leg of your chair and therefore cannot possibly move. It is, however, bulkier than most endpin stops, so for those looking for a more convenient and portable stop the Sure-Stop and the Black Hole are excellent choices."

"Cello endpins affect posture and tone more than many players tend to think. There are three major choices for your endpin. The typical steel endpin is dense and straight, absorbing some of the vibration and limiting the angle with which you can hold the cello. Players can, however, select different endpins to circumvent these limitations. A carbon fiber endpin is one available option this endpin is much lighter weight, so it tends to brighten a cellos sound and slightly increase the volume. The option I use myself is the Stahlhammer endpin, a style popularized by Rostropovich. This endpin bends slightly towards the ground at the base of the cello. This enables the player to hold the cello at a greater angle allowing more weight to be applied to the bow hand, though it can take a lot of getting used to. Another less audible benefit of this type of endpin is that it is less likely to slide, as it is angled more directly into the floor. Playing a cello can be nearly impossible if it is prone to slide, though, so a good rock stop for my endpin has always been a priority for me. I personally use and recommend the Xeros endpin anchor." - Charlie Dwyer, Cellist & SHAR Apprentice
